Hello all! I'm a long time lurker and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Last week I bought an 89 4.0 4x4 Cherokee Laredo. She's got 114k on the clock. I purchased her from the original owner. Ultimately my goals are to have a reliable daily driver first and foremost. Secondly the Jeep will be used for road trips, camping trips, and out on the deer lease. 33's are as large as I would consider going and I'd rather cut fenders than lift any more than is required. I have a 1999 4.7 4x4 Grand Cherokee Limited from which to pull parts. The engine threw a rod through the block but it's otherwise not in bad shape aside from sitting too long. For my purposes, can the complete axles be swapped into the XJ and be reliable performers? I realize the D44A has it's shortcomings. Properly trussed, is it feasible? Can I put an aussie or selectable locker in it without using the stock gerotor system or are they incompatible with a locker designed for a standard D44?
